Description

CBS Register: seal cylinder, hematite

PBS XIV: The worshiping of Shamash (?) stepping forth as above but the scepter and ring in hand. The worshiper in turban and fringed shawl adores with one hand up. The divine attendant does the same with both hands. Two small figures behind worship with one hand up, the man in a short tunic or loin cloth and the woman in a long robe. They are perhaps servants. The emblems in the field are the crescent, the squat monkey, the ampulla, and libra. Concave cyl. seal. Hematite, 23 1/2 x 11 mm.
